When Caroline contacted me with offer to join Pink Challenge my first thought was – 7 manicures with one and a same pink polish?!? Uh – that would really be a challenge for me. :D
You all know how much I “like” pink polishes, but as this challenge was roughly scheduled for end of September/beginning of October I found it difficult to decline. It simply is the best way for me to promote breast cancer awareness month color … besides adding balloon with pink ribbon to our logo.
Deciding which pink polish to use was nightmare at best. I do have a huge nail polish collection, but as I really don’t like pink color I have only a handful of pinks … and none that I would wear as part of 7 manicures. :D In the end I went for Essence Love This City from I Love Berlin TE. I chose I Love Berlin because it has pretty good coverage, so I can get away with just one coat if needed and it could be used for stamping. Bonus points were also that it is not hot pink or pastel one … at least I thought that was a good thing until I started doing my manicures and realized that I should have gone with pastel pink as it tends to be more versatile. Oh well – I already did 2 manicures with this polish so I wasn’t inclined to switch color. :D
Here are the rules:
- for entire week you have to publish manicures with same polish;
- you can layer, stamp over it, draw nail art … but base polish must still be visible is some way (so no layering black over it).
Day 1 of Pink Challenge is dedicated to the base polish of our choice – so in my case Essence Love This City. Formula wise I have no objections to this creme polish – is glides on, is just the right thickness, brush is OK, drying time is acceptable … Color is pink pink but has very slight undertone to it … I’m guessing something in peachy range. It’s muted so it doesn’t overpower everything else.

zgodna bojica, vidjet ćemo ćime ćeš nas još iznenaditi :nails:
To i mene zanima. :haha:
Točno vem kaj misliš … saj veš, rozasta tudi moja barva ni. :wink: Noja, je pa zato še toliko večji izziv, hehe! Fino, da sta se kar dve Parokeetki priključili. :thumb: Komaj čakam tvoje stvaritve … in na zeleni teden. :wink: :whistle:
Zeleni teden bi pa povzročil čisto drugačne težave – katerega izmed lepocev izbrati in zakaj ga moram “pokvariti”. :biggrin:
Lol, točno to ja, sem tudi jaz že razmišljala, da mi je bilo med tremi stekleničkami rozaste verjento lažje izbrati eno kot mi bo med cca 70 zelenimi … oh dear. :D
Komaj čakam nadaljne manikure! :nails:
P.S. Zakaj se ne moram vpisati z open ID/twitter/… računom? :ermm: Ko poskusim, me vrže na home page.. :ermm:
Hvala za obvestilo, Nuša. :rose: Če bo le v naši moči, bomo čim prej odpravili napako.
Zadeva bi sedaj morala delati. :yes: :rose:
Sretno s ovim , meni bi bio pravi ‘challenge’, nesto ne preferiram roza nijanse. Na tebi ovaj stoji super, bas me zanima sta ces sve napraviti s njim :)
I meni je ozbiljan challenge. :biggrin:
u jedva cekam vidjet ovo, volim rozu, a pogotovo ovaj lak :w00t:
